LegacyMUN2k6 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I miss the in dash 6-disc changer in my 05 impreza. Are they any good stock or aftermarket cd changers for the legacy. That sound great and are resonably priced. With the impreza you could grt almost any double din type cd system, the legacy on the other hand has the unit built in with everything else.

OCDetails Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 The six disc in dash CD changer is already a factory option. I've got one in my 05, so I'm sure it is there for the 06. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/OCDetails/DSC01895.jpg _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

Not sure I am understanding what you are saying...? but do you NOT have a system in the car? Or are you looking to change the 6 CD changer? Do you have an LGT? or a 2.5i with a single CD player? It's late, and I dunno...but the cars come with a stereo/cd changer...on the GT...and a single CD player on the 'i' models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCDetails Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Well, short of going back to the dealership to get the 6 disc changer, you are pretty screwed. Your other options are just as expensive as going to the dealership. Was the 6 disc changer not an option on the 2.5i? _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

LegacyMUN2k6 Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 Dang, i wonder if there would be away to get one cheap. I do know panasonic makes the players for the legacy. Maybe there could be a way to get a trunk cd changer to work with the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 If you have an 05 then you are out of luck. I've heard there may be an AUX input on the 06, but not CD changer controls. Your easiest and cheapest option is an FM modulator and a trunk mounted CD Changer. The Legacy isn't the car you should get if stereos are what you are into. Other than speakers you are pretty much stuck with what you get unless you know more about wiring than I do. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

LegacyMUN2k6 Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 I wouldnt mind get a fm modulated changer with mp3 playback. I want something that sounds great. How good is the sound from fm modulated systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzymt Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I wouldnt mind get a fm modulated changer with mp3 playback. I want something that sounds great. How good is the sound from fm modulated systems.I'm not sure if the HVAC controls are compatible, but you could also try replacing the head unit with the 6cd mp3 version from an H6 3.0. I recently got prices for the 6cd radios from junk yards & you're looking at somewhere between $275 & $350 depending on who you talk to... Besides that, wireless FM modulators suck...they seem to do especially poor with the window antenna on the '05's for some reason. If you hard wire it (by tapping into the antenna lead on the OEM radio) you will get a fairly clean signal, ie, no interference, but the sound quality is still not terrific...bearable, but that's it. There are a couple radio hacks floating around on the forums too that involve taking apart your OEM radio to get a clean aux-in line, but it sounds like it's probably more electronic farting around than you want to deal with. Except for big money / dramatic overhaul of the stereo system, thems pretty much your options as I see it.

There's quite a bit of unknowns regarding how the different HVAC systems work & their (un)compatibility. If you do get a good deal from a junkyard or something, but find out it doesn't work, come back and update us, cuz I might be interested in taking it off your hands anyway. I called findpart.com and the guy offered me the mp3 version for $275 + $15 S&H...just for comparison. If you end up using them, don't tell him it's an mp3 version though (/snicker) just that you want the 6CD for the 3.0L Outback.

Just peruse the Interior/audio forum for two threads named "XXX Plug & Play Aux-in XXX". There are two options with different features/benefits/costs. I feel obliged not to say more. See for yourself.
